Game Debate to the Death!2007 Game of the Year?
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 |

In our last debate, we traveled back to a dark time in our lives when we actually, if ever, watched televised wrestling shows. When asked what your favorite wrestling game of all time was, over a hundred votes were cast for dozens of different games. Most games tapped out of the royal rumble immediately, but […]

GameSetLinks: New Year’s Link Delight
Category: | Leave a Comment
Ah, yes, a little early 2008 link love, and I think it’s fun to round up the multitude of ‘year end’, retrospective type links that have been wandering around the web recently.
Particularly pleased to see some niche/subgenre round-ups in here, particularly for strategy games, which don’t always get a fair shake nowadays. Oh, and […]

Stupidity manifests itself as a Wii 8-in-1 weapon accessory kit
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Taken by itself, this "Wii Weapon Kit 8-in-1 Bundle Set" by Dragon Electronics is pretty idiotic. Shipping with eight pieces designed to attach to the Wii remote and nunchuk, the goal is apparently to create a more immersive experience. Playing Resident Evil 4? Perhaps you might enjoy the "short knife pad" for all of your […]

I have to admit that I didn’t even know this game (suggested to me by Ugly Phil) existed until a few weeks ago. It’s pretty recent, yeah, but my complete ignorance toward it leads me to believe it’s been more or less forgotten by the march of time.
Alter Echo is not a pretty game, nor […]

Creepy Halo stalker arrested: Finish the fight against restraining orders

Why do creepy people have to turn up absolutely everywhere? As soon as you set up a place for people to socialise and gather online, you can bet your bottom dollar that it’ll be less than a week before the local pedophile commune sets up shop. Speaking of which, Xbox Live is no exception, and […]

So here’s something fun that I don’t mention too often - quite apart from my work in games/game journalism, I used to be an electronic musician in the Amiga .MOD scene, and because of that founded a netlabel called Monotonik, which has been releasing music online since 1996 in .MOD and now .MP3 format […]

The Podcastle episode 3: Vaguely New Years’ related bollocks
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Wait, what’s with this sequence of events? It’s MY birthday, but YOU get the treat! Yes, it’s time for another edition of The Podcastle, where we desperately try and tie the show into the whole "New Year" thing that people love so much, even though it’s just the passing of hours and utterly meaningless.
Myself, Wardrox […]

Heads up: Wii Recharge Station can damage your Wii Remotes
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
There’s two types of Wii owners. The ones like yours truly head to Sam’s Club to buy an obscenely large package of AA batteries to support your multiple gaming devices (it usually breaks down to $.30 or so per battery). The rest use some kind of rechargeable solution, and many Wii owners have opted to use a charge base. […]
